Karl Marx on Land (Economics) - Dictionary of Arguments
Rothbard II 394 Land/Marx/Rothbard: (…) how has Marx managed to dispose of the land question that so agitated Ricardo and Mill? First of all, Marx was the great prophet of man as labourer; in his version of Hegelianism, man created nature, indeed the entire universe. Since land is man's creature, there is no room for worry about land or land-created value. Labour is all. Second, land as the basis for technology, the economy, and the social system, was the key to the feudal system, but feudalism was part of the dying 'pre-capitalist' pre-industrial order, a reactionary remnant unworthy of attention. Basically, then, Marx simply assimilated land into 'capital', and returns on land into profits. Thus land - the annoying superfluous third class of factors — can drop out and make way for the mighty two-class polarization and final struggle between the capitalists and the proletariat. >Classes/Marx, >Class conflict/Marx._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
